Pinocchio Italian Restaurant Temple Bar

Booked Pinocchio as a birthday surprise for my Italian boyfriend who was over from London. Carmen and all the staff in the kitchen really gave us an unique experience. Food was sublime and would recommend the chicken in mushroom sauce. Pinocchio on Temple Bar has to be one of the best restaurants in Dublin. Food, beverages were exquisite. We will definitely be back.

Nice restaurant situated in a good location. The staff is so kind and the atmosphere inside is enjoyable. Is a real Italian restaurant with the traditional Italian food. I will recommend to everyone who want to eat delicious italian food.

The place itself is very cool and there's a great vibe given off by the sound of the luas passing overhead every ten mins. The food is AMAZING! Go for the meatballs and potato, you'll love it. On the negative side, the staff are overwhelmed and a little on the slow side. Dishes didn't arrive together and people were finished their desserts before others git theirs. It would be great if management assigned additional part timers at busy times. Definitely worth a visit, though, and it's good value. Will be making this a regular jaunt.

The food is excellent! The staff are friendly and attentive! Definitely coming back again!

Always a great option for Italian food in the heart of the city. Carbonara pasta is the best. Try also the Arancini as a starter and a glass of Chianti. Lovely and friendly staff as well. Highly recommended.
